The ultraviolet light contains photons of high energy. these are able to excite the atoms. which during the process of de-excitation can emit frequencies , which are detectable by normal eye. So it depends upon frequency of light..

What is the brightness of a star at 10PC from the earth?

The brightness of a star at 10 parsecs (32.6 light-years) from Earth would depend on its intrinsic luminosity and the amount of light that reaches Earth. The apparent brightness, or apparent magnitude, of the star would decrease with the square of the distance from Earth. This is described by the inverse square law, which states that the brightness is inversely proportional to the square of the distance.


How does the amount of magents and wire affect the brightness of a light bulb?

The brightness of a light bulb directly has no direct relationship with magnets and wire. The bulbs brightness is determined by the wattage of the bulb. The higher the wattage of the bulb the brighter the bulbs light output.


How do you distinguish colour and brightness?

Color refers to the perceived hue of an object or light source, determined by the wavelengths of light it reflects or emits. Brightness, on the other hand, refers to the intensity of light emitted or reflected by an object, regardless of its color. Color can be affected by factors like pigmentation, while brightness is influenced by the amount of light hitting a surface.


If you double the brightness of a light source what else doubles?

If you double the brightness of a light source, the intensity of the light also doubles, as intensity is directly proportional to brightness. Additionally, the amount of energy radiated by the light source and its illuminance at a given distance would also double.

How does the voltage affect the brightness of a volt light?

The brightness of a light bulb is directly proportional to the voltage applied to it. Increasing the voltage increases the brightness of the light bulb, while decreasing the voltage decreases the brightness.

A star's brightness is the brightness seen by humans on Earth. A star's brightness is its actual brightness and does not depend on where the star is viewed from.?

The brightness as seen from Earth is called the "apparent magnitude".The real brightness (defined as the apparent brightness, as seen from a standard distance) is called the "absolute magnitude".


How can I adjust the brightness of a touch LED light?

To adjust the brightness of a touch LED light, simply touch and hold the light until it starts to dim or brighten. Release your touch when the desired brightness level is reached.


What determines the brightness of light?

The brightness of light is determined by the intensity of the light source, which is the amount of light energy emitted per unit of time. The greater the intensity of the light source, the brighter the light will appear.
